We moved from the Sheraton Hotel because we couldn't handle the moldy smell there. Since this one has a waterfall, we worried that it would have a similar problem. Instead, it was a wonderful experience. The room was comfortable and clean, the food in the restaurant was tasty, and we loved the location. It was a quieter area on the... more

I think this is good a hotel as one would hope to find in Guilin. We had a high river view room, with a stunning view of the lake and hills. Don't get stuck with an inside toom if you can avoid it. The Western breakfast seems improved from our visit two years back, to the extent that many of... more

We stayed one night at the Lijiang Waterfall Hotel on our way from Yangshuo to Saigon. The waterfall was "Closed for maintenance," but everything else was outstanding. Truly beautiful hotel in what appears to be the best situation in Guilin -- across from the town lakes and pagodas, across another street from the Li River, at the foot of the... more

We had a two night stay there in early February and whilst I agree that the place could have done with the services of a contract cleaner for all the carpets and chairs in the breakfast room and also agree that there was a faint musty smell and agree that the breakfast was a tad forgettable, the news is not... more

One cannot beat the location of this hotel, adjacent to the night market, shopping and the pier for the river cruise, which is a must for visitors. Breakfast is reasonable but not too exciting . We ordered drinks from the bar but they came in pop cans for juices and beer. The waterfall shows only occur on the weekends and... more

Ok, where do I start? I have to agree with some of the reviews already on this site. The Lijiang Waterfall Hotel is not great. It was our third stop in China and both or previous hotels had been superb so this hotel had a lot to live up to and unfortunately…it didn’t. When we first entered the hotel I... more

I have to echo much of what has already been said about the hotel. This was arranged for us through a private tour. We were told it was the best in Guilin. - The location is great, there is no denying that. - The carpets throughout the hotel were absolutely filthy. - The breakfast buffet closed at 9:30am. Seemed ridiculous... more

As part of a recent China trip, our travel agent, Explorient, booked us at the Waterfall Hotel for two nights (May 25 & 26, 208). The hotel is in a wonderful location, near a beautiful park and within easy walking distance of so many great sights (highly recommend the boat trip on the lake in the evening). While visiting Guilin,... more

We chose this hotel based on others reviews but wished we had chosen the Sheraton. Hotel is very old fashioned, huge void of space in the hall downstairs with no style, atmosphere or comfort. Beds - hard as a rock, might as well have been sleeping on the floor. Rooms depressingly dark, no character very old fashioned and in a... more
